Improving Our Gear

What do these materials tell us? Well, admittedly not much. However, they do give us some insight into how Bungie will be supporting the pre-expansion Exotics. It’s clear that using these materials will allow us to improve our Exotics.

The actual enhancements, and what we’ll need to do to activate these “ultimate improvements” is still unknown.

In the latest weekly update, DeeJ hinted that he will be unveiling more about these new Exotic materials soon.

He said that the Dev Team is preparing notes to cover “exactly how Weapons and Armor will be updated and upgraded” and he says that those notes will be available in the coming weeks.

He went on to say that,

We promised to make all of your Exotics worth the price of ownership, and you should expect to hear more about how they’ll continue to be prized possessions in the short term future.

For those unable to acquire and upgrade the new Dark Below Exotics, or even the quality 80+ Legendary gear, you’ll still be able to compete with your current Exotics!

Creating an Exotic?

Another Exotic material that’s much more ambiguous is the “Vex Raid Rare” – possibly a way to craft an Exotic weapon?
